JFK Memorial Hospital hosting a blood drive on April 24

During this critical time, donations of blood are extremely important with shortages looming.

With that in mind, JFK Memorial Hospital in Indio will host a blood drive Friday, April 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

For appointments, call 800-879-4484 or go online to LStream.org/desertregional

Out of an abundance of caution, LifeStream is not taking donations from healthcare workers who have directly cared for confirmed or presumed coronavirus patients in the previous 28 days.

This includes anyone who had direct contact, for more than 10 minutes at less than 6 feet, regardless of PPE status. Thanks for your understanding.
